A little warm, a little cold but still very windy. Not sure what is going on lately (but that is normal now these days) on the weather. Usually when we get wind, it lasts maybe 2 to 3 days, 4 tops but it has lasted for almost 2 weeks. Now the winds haven't been crazy but still extra breezy for some reason and at a regular pace. The nights have been chill but the days warm but with the winds it has been cooler, just not cool enough. Hard to keep a door open without it blowing closed to keep the draft going. But at least the winds haven't been unmanageable with leaves and branches every where and stuff knocked over ... just very odd weather this past couple of years and the climate has changed so much. I have no idea who's dog that is in the picture I selected, found it on the internet and thought it was both funny and cute to deliver my point on the weather.
Weekly Update:So earlier this week I visited one of my new favorite spots to chill out at ... Twin Galaxies, the Lounge. This use to be called 1337LoungeLive but they have changed their format to what is called Twin Galaxies ... it doesn't quiet roll off the tongue but I guess they needed a new look and name, not sure if it is working or if enough research went into this. Everything is kind of the same for the most part, just the shows they have during the day are gone. Some other shows they kept are still kind of boring like The Comic Book Show. It isn't that great due to the mix of guys they have. Just because they are nerdy and read comics, doesn't mean they are great on camera and entertaining enough. But I was there mid-week and got to hang out with ...
*Billy Campbell - Best known as "The Rocketeer" with the film of the same name and a VERY cool guy!
Spent two hours just hanging out with him and hearing some awesome stories. He is very laid back and just fun. I saw "The Rocketeer" at the movie theatre and thought it was amazing and mesmerizing seeing a man fly with just a jet pack and wished I had one too.
At the movies:
HUGE upset at the box office this week as Neighbors not only beats Spider-Man in its 2nd week but doubled its predicted gross of 51.1 million! Usually one R-rated comedy breaks the bank each summer, is this the one? Slinging down to #2 is "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" with a hefty gross drop earning an extra 37.2 mil. It was more than enough for it to break 100 mil cume but now the question is will it get to 200 in the end domestically? At #3 is "The Other Woman" with a small drop earning 9.3 mil more. Slow drop to #4 is "Heaven is For Real" with 7 mil extra, still a good showing during the weekdays. Rounding off the top 5 is "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" as this will likely be its last showing in the top 5 (but after 6 weeks!) and earning 5.6 mil as it creeps its way to 250 mil cume, should hit it by end of the week.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Two this week as Mom's Night Out comes in at #7 earning only 4 mil. It could get a little bump during the week but nothing to celebrate about. In at #8 is Legend of Oz: Dorothy's Return earning only 3.7 mil and will probably cap out soon.
